You made us oblivious

Without you, we are extinguished and

It is just like the silence of the city
when it pauses.
Just like a man-made silence.
Your innocence was stolen without

Innocence gone without our

Left us all troglodytic,
Left us broken,
Left us shedding.
You were the sun that sparkled.
You're still in our hearts.
We hold you all in our thoughts
It doesn't matter how old you were.
They killed you, all young and old.
We have lost all our guiding stars.
We don't know what came over us
that day – an instant of weakness
after years of resistance,
I suppose
You may not know they finally turned

In a shocking case of alleged 'Love Jihad' in Rajasthan's Rajsamand district, a man has been arrested for beating another man with an axe and burning him alive, while recording the entire incident on video.
The accused Shambunath Raigar later uploaded the video onto the internet, explaining his actions, saying that he killed the victim Mohammad Bhatta Sheikh to "save a girl from love jihad" and "protect the honour of Hindus against Muslims", adding that "those indulging in 'love jihad' will meet the same fate".
In the video that went viral, Raigar can be seen beating up Sheikh and then pouring kerosene oil on his body and burning him alive.

Raigar, in the video, claims that he released the video of the incident deliberately as a warning to the 'Islamist forces' that he accused of luring girls and enticing them with 'promises of love' before converting them to Islam.
Superintendent of Police Manoj Kumar said that Raigar has been sent for interrogation in connection with the murder.
Meanwhile, internet services have been suspended in Rajsamand to stop the further circulation of the two video clips.
The term 'Love Jihad' has been used by right-wing groups accusing Muslim men of feigning interest in non-Muslim women and converting them to Islam.

My dear,
I liken the modern college education to the snake in the Garden of Eden, a soothing slithering sort of thing that whispers to the listener that once they consume what it has to offer they have eternal knowledge and don't need to learn and educate themselves further anymore.
This is of course wrong. Many men with degrees have found themselves to be dumb and ignorant after college, and they've found themselves especially hurt by that ignorance.
A college education never hurt anybody who was willing to learn after he got it.
What havoc they'll be when people figure this out en masse. They'll start questioning the whole system… I can't wait.
Falsely yours,
A. Nonymous

Facts about General Zod
Phantom Zod
Introduced in the twelve-issue For Tomorrow (Superman #204-#215) storyline, written by Brian Azzarello and penciled by Jim Lee, this Zod lives alone in an alternate Phantom Zone and resents Superman for tampering with it. By his own account he comes from the same Krypton as Superman and was exiled to the Phantom Zone by Superman's father, Jor-El. This Zod wears large, spiked black armor and when unmasked, is a bald, white-bearded old man. This incarnation also uses a variation of "Kneel before Zod". He appeared in Metropia, a version of the Phantom Zone created by Superman to resemble a living world (including apparently-living beings). Since Superman created the world of Metropia with similarities to Krypton, it has been revealed[citation needed] that this (again) is not the real Zod. However, whether or not this was the real Zod of the pre-Infinite Crisis DC universe he has been superseded by the present storyline (which features a new Zod, freed from the Phantom Zone).
Krypton Zod
After ambushing Superman, Zod trapped him in the Zone. At the same time about 25 other Kryptonian criminals also escape the Zone and defeat a number of Earth's heroes, beginning their quest to conquer the planet (starting with Metropolis). Superman escapes the Zone with the aid of Mon-El, and ultimately defeats Zod with the unlikely aid of Lex Luthor, Metallo, Parasite and Bizarro. Out of nearly 30 Kryptonians Metallo, Parasite, and Lex Luthor manage to kill five or six of them with Kryptonite and red solar radiation. Zod and his compatriots are sent back into the Phantom Zone; unfortunately, so is Chris Kent. At the end of the "New Krypton" arc, it is revealed that Alura has brought Zod, Ursa, and Non back from the Phantom Zone (making Zod the army's new leader).
General Zod appeared as a primary antagonist in the Superman: Last Son storyline (written by Geoff Johns and Richard Donner [director of Superman: The Movie and most of Superman II]). In a similar story to that of Superman II, Zod, Ursa, and Non escape from the Phantom Zone and come to Earth to try to turn it into a "New Krypton". This incarnation is the first Post-Crisis Zod who came from Superman's Krypton, and not from an alternate reality.
This rebellion was short-lived and the rebels were again arrested and sentenced to be executed. Not wishing to resort to execution, Jor-El appealed on their behalf to exile them instead. The council accepted this, on the condition that Jor-El would be the jailer. Zod, Ursa and Non were imprisoned, and embittered against Jor-El for years to come.
The story also features the debut of Christopher Kent, a young Kryptonian boy discovered and briefly raised by Superman and Lois Lane. It is revealed that Christopher (whose birth name is Lor-Zod) is the son of Zod and Ursa, born in the Phantom Zone and used as a conduit for their escape. The birth was possible in the otherwise-timeless Phantom Zone because of an ancient accident. An entire Kryptonian prison was transported to the Zone; inside it, time passes.
The backstory for the three Kryptonians was revealed in Action Comics Annual #10. Non had once been a brilliant scientist, on a par with Jor-El. Both were researching the event which would ultimately destroy Krypton. Zod entered their lab with troops (at this point, Zod was still working for Krypton's Council). Both Jor-El and Non were arrested by Zod, warned by the High Council to halt their research and released. Jor-El set to work creating the rocket that would send his son Kal-El to Earth, while Non began to spread the word of the planet's impending doom. Non's message convinced both Zod and Ursa that Krypton was soon to be destroyed. Non then disappeared from public life, only to return with a mutilated brain. The council had transformed him into a mindless brute, and this act inspired Zod and Ursa to rebel against the Kryptonian government. Without any sense of right and wrong, Non now fought alongside Zod and Ursa. Zod attempted to recruit Jor-El to their cause; however, Jor-El saw that the plans were fueled by greed, lust for power and violence.
World of New Krypton
Later, during a Kryptonian ceremony, Zod is shot by the Kryptonian Ral-Dar (who is working with Sam Lane). In issue seven of this story arc, he names Kal-El temporary General until he has fully recovered. By issue 11 he has recovered, but returns to his duties at the worst possible moment. Kal-El, Adam Strange, and Tyr-Van are about to be killed, after having their powers removed because they were with Tam-Or. Tam-Or is a principal suspect of killing a member of the council; even Superman is unable to halt the execution. Zod stops the execution and (with Kal-El) investigates members of a group of traitors to Krypton. They discover the last member and, after getting him to confess to his crimes, arrest him. As Kal-El and Zod are talking about how Kal-El has changed New Krypton by helping the Labor Guild get on the Council, Brainiac attacks.
When Superman decides to see what life is like on New Krypton, he is drafted into the Military Guild under General Zod. Zod and Superman maintain a mistrustful professional relationship. Despite their past, neither seems prepared to behave with marked aggression toward the other. When Zod orders that Superman and his people kill a Kryptonian criminal, Superman circumvents the order. He feels that killing the criminal would be not only unnecessary, but wrong. The criminal is arrested, without further fatalities.
Zod accuses Superman of treason, of which he is found guilty. Before being executed, Superman gives a heartfelt speech about morality. Much to the everyone's surprise, Zod is apparently moved by the speech. He requests that the Religious Guild give Superman absolution, overturn the "guilty" verdict. As a result, Superman is cleared of all charges. When asked why he did not go through with the execution of the son of someone he hated Zod explains that, despite everything that had happened before, he realized that his military would be stronger and better for having Superman in it. As a result it appears that there is a level of mutual respect (if not peace) between Zod and Superman.
Last Stand
With New Krypton under attack by Brainiac Zod begins his plan to defeat him after his greatest defeat by the Coluan, when he bottled Kandor from Old Krypton.
DC The New
General Zod appears in Action Comics (vol. 2) #5 in the Phantom Zone. In this issue Krypton is being destroyed and Jor-El and Lara look for various ways to save himself, Lara, and an infant Kal El. Jor-El suggests going into the Phantom Zone. Zod however appears with other Phantom Zone prisoners and attempts to escape the Phantom Zone. Krypto however sacrifices himself by attacking Zod thus going into the Phantom Zone as well.
War of the Supermen
After the final moments of Last Stand of New Krypton (when the planet was destroyed by Reactron), Zod declares war on Earth. After a fierce conflict, Zod is pushed back into the Phantom Zone by his son

Scientists silent on French beef ban
25 October 1999
Scientists silent on French beef ban
By FWi staff
SECRECY surrounded a meeting in Brussels today (Monday) when BSE experts convened to assess whether or not the ongoing French ban on British beef is justified.
For a second day, experts pored over a 600-page document from the French food standards agency to see if they could find any new evidence relating to the disease.
By lunchtime, it was clear that no outcome from the meeting would be made public.
Instead, any conclusion made by the experts was passed on to the full Scientific Steering Committee, which meets on Thursday and Friday.
According to a commission spokesman, that committee will decide whether the French document contains any new information relating to British beef and BSE.
If there is, the scientists must then decide whether the information is significant enough to require a re-examination of the date-based export scheme for British beef.
In the light of both those decisions, the commission could then suspend or amend the export scheme, or initiate legal proceedings against France for banning British beef.
Alternatively, a diplomatic solution may be found.
Nick Brown, the British farm minister, and Jean Glavany, his French counterpart, are due to meet at the weekend and both will be keen to avoid a full-blown trade war.

On reading and writing and silence02 Dec 2014
[week 4 of the challenge. It's time for a quick post to catch up after last week's delay.]
As you know, this blogging challenge of mine is based on the observation that I would like to write more. And then Jeff Atwood reminds me in this interesting piece that
we badly need to incentivize listening
which makes me wonder if my natural tendency to let things brew for ages might not be a good thing. This blogging challenge will invariably show if I'm actually able to write in decent quality under tighter constraints. (Right now, I'm not so sure.) So perhaps I will have to realize that silence is golden.
On a related note, in recent months, I was forced to think about my comment "policy". This hadn't really come up before since I get very few comments and even fewer from strangers. But I think I should point out that nobody leaving a comment should expect said comment to be posted. Similary, nobody should expect a comment that has been posted to stay up (especially if gets posted automatically after I've allowed a comment in the past). Finally, nobody should expect me to reply to a comment even if I've replied to other comments and even if that happened in the same thread.
This policy has very little to do with trolling, actually, but more with off-topic comments and comments on ancient posts documenting how things have changed (I'm so surprised! not). It's also related to a different point: I'm probably switching off automated comments at some point next year (ooooooh, something will change, hint hint).
The number of worthwhile comments I get is roughly 1 per month (vs 5-10K of spam). So instead of a comment sytem, I'll figure out some way you can quickly send me a comment and then I will add it manually. This move is not just laziness about dealing with spam (it will be slightly more work, I suspect) but also reflects the fact that I consider your comments to be additions to the content, not separate from it. This does not mean that a comment needs to be serious, of course – silly comments are just as (more?) (more!) relevant to me, so I hope people will keep'em coming.
- Asaf Karagila, 2014/12/02
Silly comments are my specialty. As are most form of off topic. I think that I would have managed to squeeze the 45 minutes I have to teach into an actual 45 minutes time frame if I would lay off the off topic comments and jokes to my classroom.
However, I do feel that humor is an integral part of my teaching, so I won't do that, and I'll keep the usual five minutes overtime.
Hey, look at that, I'm the first half of a soccer game! :)
- Peter, 2014/12/08 This made me smile. Alot.

I had the funniest realization while I was reading over the past week, each book I read fed into the next in with its theme. I'll show you what I mean:
The first title I read of this group of books – it's about a child growing up as (you guessed it) the warden's daughter in a prison. Her mother passed away when she was just a baby and now as she heads into middle school, she begins looking for someone to take the role as her mother.
This title is about boys that are sent to an island to attend a reform school, that is run very much like a prison. Jonathan feels he deserves a dark, damp fortress after what he's done, but when an accident leaves the group of boys without adult supervision, Jonathan must face his past in order to save the boys on the island from a massive storm.
This title also takes place on an island where once a year a boat comes through the fog to drop off a new young, orphan child and take away the oldest child. The nine children on the island don't know why, they only know that it's always been that way.
This is the story of Crow an orphan girl who washed up to the shore of small island inhabited by just one mysterious man as a baby. He took her in and raised her as her own, but as she grows up she wants to learn more about where she came from and who her family was/is.
I just thought it was so funny that each story had a theme that carried from one book to the next and then the next book had a theme that carried to another title. By the way, these are all amazing middle grade novels that everyone should read!

Do you know what kind of kitten is in the video above with the little boy?
@austingirl Which post? #991? http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,230406.msg1480252.html#msg1480252
Yes, sorry, 991. It is just so cute! Just got back from the vet. Hank, my border terrier, hurt his paw. Nothing major, thank goodness. He is afraid of the office kitten who looks like part Siamese, but she has a striped tail. She jets around the office, waiting room and in and out of the treatment room. Pouncing and just silly. Very cute.
@austingirlAww...That's pretty funny. I wonder whether that kitten is a Scottish Fold. I'm not very good at such identities...I can't even keep common dog breeds straight!
I looked at some pics of Scottish Fold kittens and I think that's correct.
@Suppressed Baby animals are the best! I saw two cottontails together in my yard this week.Then I found cottontail babies yesterday! They are fully furred with eyes open. The last nest I found did not fare well. Either the hot sun or the fire ants got the babies shortly after birth. I live in a rural area and there is plenty of habitat and I wish they would nest elsewhere. I have to patrol before I let my dogs out.
Here's a little bunny pic I saw today...

Missing plane Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 was plunging toward the sea with no one in control when it made its last satellite communication, new analysis reveals. A report released Wednesday by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau provided the clearest picture yet of the plane's final moments in March 2014.
According to end of flight simulations run by the Australian bureau, the plane was spiraling in its final moments, descending at up to 25,000 feet per minute (284 mph).
AirlineRatings.com aviation expert Geoffrey Thomas told CNN the report debunked theories that the pilot had been flying the plane when it landed in the sea. "The really important news in this report is that the flap found in Tanzania was stowed," he said, referring to the flaperon that washed up off the East African country in June. "Therefore there was no way this airplane was being flown by anyone. It was out of control, ran out of fuel and spiraled into the sea at high speed."
In July, New York magazine reported new evidence supported the theory that pilot suicide caused the plane's disappearance. The magazine quoted a leaked document from an FBI investigation that showed deleted files had been recovered from Zaharie's home-built flight simulator. They reportedly revealed he had plotted a course into the deep southern Indian Ocean -- a course that closely matched the final flight MH370 is thought to have taken. Investigators said the simulator files had been created just weeks before the jet disappeared, according to the document.
More than 20 items of debris have been brought to the attention of investigators, but only three have been confirmed as from MH370, including the flaperon mentioned in the new report.
So far, 110,000 square kilometers (42,000 square miles) have been covered as part of the underwater search for MH370, with the hunt currently due to conclude at 120,000 square kilometers (46,000 square miles). "Where they're looking is still the area where everyone agrees that's where the plane is," aviation expert Thomas said, adding there were slight disagreements in opinion.

While support to grass root institutions continues to be pivotal, policy advocacy and linkage activities tailored to the new macro-economic environment with wide ranging political structural reforms have also been emphasized.
SRSP sees its work in the field as "Policy experiment." It believes that one of the best way to influence policy is to demonstrate your work in the field and the impact it makes to Policy makers. Our experience shows that its not long policy papers that change policy but practical work in the field that makes the biggest impact on policy makers. For this reason demonstrating successful work to all stakeholders is an integral part of SRSP advocacy and policy work.
The monitoring and evaluation section of SRSP plays a pivotal role in this; but its work is supported by strong policy work, relationship building and networking. The tools used include internship programmes, visit to projects by policy makers, invitation to conferences and symbolic events and to meetings. SRSP has also been represented on international and national forums doing advocacy work of poverty alleviation, gender equality, humanitarian work, rural finance, education, access to justice. The organization has been represented as lead partner, speaker at UN Humanitarian Appeal, Annual Humanitarian Day, WANA forums and training institutes.

I'm feeling that it's time for another credit spread. This trade will be a bullish put spread that could take advantage of the apparent change in trend.
SPY 131/129 put spread
|1. Exit if I can lock in
80% of my
initial credit (i.e. $.10)
2. Exit if the SPY drops below $131.30
3. Exit if within 4-7 days of expiration
We've seen a short term downtrend develop over the course of the last month. However, the action today is giving the indication that perhaps we may be seeing a reversal of the trend. Of course, the change in trend has not proven itself yet so we have to approach this trade with a bit of caution.
I'm selecting a put credit spread because if offers some degree of tolerance for being wrong and has the potential to develop in a relatively short period of time. As I said, since this change in trend hasn't proven out just yet, we'll need to watch it and plan an early exit even though it's been position sized to take the maximum loss.
I started out looking at June options, but there are only 17 days remaining in the June cycle. While I considered the June quarterlies, which have 30 days remaining, I ultimately went with the July options. With the lower volatility, more time is required to get any kind of decent premium.
I settled on the the correct month, I looked for a short strike having a
probability of expiring around 35%. In this case the strike I selected had a
slightly higher probability of expiring ITM. With a $2 spread, I'm looking
at a credit of about $.49.
With a credit of $.49 on a $2 spread, I'm looking at a risk amount of $1.51. That means my return on risk is 32%. That's not too bad of a return given the probability of success is around 68%.
I've mentioned recently that I've changed my exit strategy and my position sizing strategy. I now size my position such that I can sustain maximum loss. As a result, I have no early exit strategy as a rule that might improve my return on risk. As I've mentioned before, return on risk and probability of success are always a trade off. I've decided that removing the constraint that causes me to exit the trade early in some cases may in fact give me more opportunity to be right. So far, that has proven to be a good decision.
Given that the trade has a risk of $1.51 or $151 per contract, I now have a starting point to begin calculating the number of contracts I can sell.
My current portfolio value is $17,638. I have a trading rule to limit my trade risk to 2% of my portfolio so that means I can risk $352. That means I can sell 2 contracts and remain within my risk threshold.
Now that I no longer have a 2x rule on my credit spread trades where I exit when the cost to close is twice the initial credit, my typical exit rules are pretty simple. I will close when I can lock in 80% of the initial credit and I will close regardless when I'm within 4-5 days of expiration.
I mentioned early on that I intended to put this trade on a 'short leash'. What I mean is that if the trend fails to prove out I will close the trade. The point at which I feel the trend fails will be around $131.38. This would signify a lower low has been established. For now, I'm going to set an alarm to warn me if this happens.
Just to summarize, I will exit under the following conditions.
Given that I'm presuming a short to medium term bullish trend, I am expecting that any trade I put on will have positive delta. It's no surprise then that this trade adds positive delta.
Of course I'd also expect this credit spread trade to add positive theta. This trade does add positive theta but notice that the IWM trade currently has 3 times the theta that this new trade has. Both trades have the same number of contracts. So why is the theta different?
The answer is that theta erodes faster in options closer to expiration than those farther out. I'd expect the theta to increase on this new option as more time passes.
Sorry folks, I let this trade run without any updates. This trade finally closed today (for a profit). I'll talk about the trade itself as well as discuss how I managed this trade in the face of my exit rules.
First, let's look at how the trade turned out. I entered the trade (2 contracts worth) for a credit of $.49. I closed the trade today for a debit of $.10 leaving a net profit of $.39. With two contracts, my net profit in the trade is $78. My return on risk is $.39/$1.51 or 25%. That's not too bad on a strategy such as this.
I want to address the exit rules I listed above and my choice to not follow them explicitly. I mentioned that one of my exit rules for this trade was to close if the SPY breaks below $131. This event did indeed happen shortly after entering the trade. As I considered exiting based on this rule, I started thinking about my motivation for altering my overall trading rules for the credit spread trades. The goal was to size my position so that a maximum loss would keep me within my acceptable 2% portfolio loss. The reason I did this was based on the theory that staying in trades longer gives me a better chance of success.
As of this trade, I've traded 6 times using this new exit strategy. Of those trades, only one was a losing trade. As it stands, my gains in the successful credit spread trades this year almost exactly equal the loss amount of my one losing trade. Had I closed the trade as planned, then I would have been slightly negative on this strategy. I point this out because while it doesn't seem exciting to have 5 gains wiped out by one loss, I did a lot worse last year using my 2X exit strategy. Of the trades I've done this year, I would have exited two of them early had I followed my 2X rule.
Rule # 1 - Don't lose money.
Rule # 2 - Never forget Rule #1 (Warren Buffet)
Stay tuned for further updates as the trade progresses...

I attended a Department of Public Works community meeting on Sept. 17 to review the city's plan to replace a vehicular lane on Baronne Street with a dedicated bike lane from Canal to Calliope streets. The safety of all people — motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists — needs to be considered in where to best place a dedicated bike lane.
The expressway above Calliope Street was designed to keep Baronne a major exit from the CBD/Warehouse District. It is the only street that has an on-ramp to the expressway in both directions. Why would city officials believe it is no longer necessary to view Baronne as a major exit of downtown? Studies have shown that by 2020, 10,000 more people will live in the CBD/Warehouse District. There are three condo developments under construction in the 200 and 300 blocks of Baronne, which will increase automobile traffic. Studies by traffic engineers and urban planning specialists have shown this to be true. Thus, I question the validity of the claim that placing a protected bike lane on Baronne is a feasible idea. Most residents, businesses and motorists who regularly use Baronne agree that eliminating a lane of traffic for a dedicated bike lane will not serve the greater good.
Supporters of a bike lane on Baronne want a more convenient way to travel through the Warehouse District/CBD to reach Central City. The more practical, safer street to place such a bike lane is South Rampart Street. If a bike lane is placed on South Rampart Street, a continuous bike lane will exist from the St. Bernard Parish line to Central City.
This dedicated bike lane will affect the Good Shepherd School on Baronne. The school serves low-income, at-risk youth from New Orleans. Ninety-five percent of students who graduated in our first two graduating classes are enrolled in college. Parents, grandparents and guardians pick up and drop off students and form a car line on Baronne. By removing a lane of automobile traffic, there will be more congestion and longer delays for our parents and for drivers seeking to leave the city after work. The more cumbersome it is for parents to pick up their children, the more likely parents will send their children to another school that does not provide the same continued support for students.
There is no good reason for having a bike lane on Baronne at the expense of the current two lanes for automobile traffic. A designated bike lane on South Rampart Street makes more sense.

Fever-Tree was founded in 2005 by Charles Rolls and Tim Warrillow. The founders set out to challenge the status quo and revolutionise a stagnant mixer category. Charles and Tim travelled the world searching for the very best ingredients naming the company after the 'fever tree', the colloquial name for the cinchona tree, where quinine the vital ingredient to tonic is sourced. Instead of joining the flurry of companies vying for top billing in the quality spirits market, Rolls and Warrillow instead focused on creating an exceptional mixer. designed to enhance and lift the flavour of these great spirits, rather than mask them.
The pair spent 15 months (and long nights in the British Library) researching the extensive history of tonic water. After several trips to Africa, it was a journey to the last remaining plantation of Cinchona Ledgeriana on the Rwanda-Conga border that changed their fortunes forever. By perfectly complementing the surge in interest in premium gins Fever-Tree has today achieved a market cap of just over £2.5 billion while expanding their product range, which is now available in 65 markets globally.

Waste management is a highly important industry, but one that has experienced relatively slow-paced advances with limited innovations in operational efficiency and design. This has been the case until the arrival of Villiger Entsorgungssysteme AG.
The Switzerland-based company was founded by Paul Villiger in 1991. Recognising the growing need for efficient waste collection and storage in his rapidly urbanising town, Paul pivoted his original farm machinery business towards the construction of comprehensive waste solutions.
Today the company makes and installs fully integrated waste collection systems which include underground storage facilities and automated collection trucks. The modular systems are loaded with technology such as sensors to measure fill levels and can directly charge users by the weight of their rubbish. Municipalities can also monitor usage and optimise collection at the rubbish stations via online dashboards. The underground systems are unobtrusive, better control for odour and blend into the urban environment.
Today Villiger has installed more than 50,000 systems in Switzerland and in Europe, making it one of the EU's leading companies in the disposal system industry.

"[W]e truly have a unique combination of attributes: excellent lawyers, great culture, and a global presence."
- Oliver Armas, Partner, New York
I primarily focus on complex cross-border litigation and arbitration.
Getting to know Hogan Lovells
Before joining Hogan Lovells, I was a partner at a New York-based firm. I decided that I needed a more global platform in order to better serve my clients, and Hogan Lovells was a perfect fit for me. You can take a large firm and make it feel small (which is what Hogan Lovells does), but you can't take a small firm and make it feel big.
My expectations were that the firm would be full of exceptionally talented and committed lawyers and staff, with a focus on excellence and client service. Within months of joining, I was asked to participate in a two-week "roadshow" to over a dozen clients in Germany. This was a terrific opportunity to work with and get to know lawyers from other offices around the world and experience the firm's global scale and commitment to clients firsthand. Hogan Lovells has truly exceeded all my expectations.
There really is no "typical" day — especially since I travel about two weeks out of the month and am otherwise meeting with clients or attending hearings and conferences — but I principally work with the same team of six that joined Hogan Lovells with me. We handle international arbitration cases, litigation, and internal investigations (mostly FCPA-related), and are currently working on matters in Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Brazil, and Korea.
Pro bono
The firm takes very seriously its commitment to pro bono. This is reflected in the quantity of matters we handle and the quality of work we do. I have worked with Kids in Need of Defense on a pro bono basis, which is an organization that represents undocumented immigrant children (mostly from Central America) in asylum cases.
Word to the wise
Spend the time to get to know us, and you will realize that we truly have a unique combination of attributes: excellent lawyers, great culture, and a global presence.
I joined Hogan Lovells as a lateral partner from a New York-based international firm. With me came a team of six other lawyers who I work closely with on complex domestic and international disputes. I also have an active trial practice in U.S. federal and state courts, routinely represent foreign and domestic clients in arbitrations and other arbitral tribunals, and assist foreign product manufacturers in supply chain disputes and product liability litigation and in related regulatory matters. Fluent in Spanish and proficient in Portuguese, I also regularly counsel clients on matters involving Latin America.
Outside of the office, I enjoy quality time with my family and dog, Charlie.

Warren posits that pursuit of safety and good public schools is what fed the housing frenzy that became so diastrous for the nation. Her suggested solution is vouchers for everyone. Parents would then be able to shop around for a good school with education dollars which would follow them rather than having their children assigned to schools based on their zip code. I see two problems with Warren's assessment: 1) since crime has been dropping for two decades, who is it (and why) that has been continuously stoking some citizens to fear other citizens?; and 2) he who giveth a voucher, can taketh away a voucher. What happens if the public schools, as they are currently constructed, are abandoned for vouchers and charter schools, and then, somewhere down the road, comes the mantra, "we can no longer afford entitlements"? Poor parents would be left with no option other than to pay for their children's education on their own since the once public, and free, schools will have deteroriated beyond salvation. I'm a big Elizabeth Warren fan but I wonder if she would develop her suggestions differently in 2012 than she did when this book was published in 2003.

There are always at least two squares between positive consecutive cubes, starting with the perfect squares 1 and 4 between the perfect cubes 1 (included) and 8 (excluded).
The number of squares between the cube of n (included) and the cube of n+1 (excluded) is always one of the two integers bracketing 3*sqrt(n)/2.
The number a(n) in the sequence is 0 if the correct count is the lower number or 1 if the actual count is the higher number.
Table of n, a(n) for n=0..100.

a(n) = floor(sqrt((n+1)^3-1)) - ceiling(sqrt(n^3)) + 1 - floor(1.5 sqrt(n))
The sequence starts with a(0)=1 for n=0 because there is just one perfect square (0) between the cube of 0 (included) and the cube of 1 (excluded).
This exceeds by a(0)=1 the asymptotic expression floor(1.5*sqrt(n)) for the value n=0.

Michael Franti (born April 21, 1966) is an American rapper, musician, poet, and singer-songwriter. He is the creator and lead vocalist of Michael Franti & Spearhead, a band that blends hip hop with a variety of other styles including funk, reggae, jazz, folk, and rock. He is also an outspoken supporter for a wide spectrum of peace and social justice issues. Enjoy Michael Franti's best quotes below.
"No life's worth more than any other, no sister worth less than any brother."
"I'm not an idealist. I know we're not going to be living in a world that's peace and love all the time. But we can live in a world where we kill each other a lot less."
"Music is sunshine. Like sunshine, music is a powerful force that can instantly and almost chemically change your entire mood. Music gives us new energy and a stronger sense of purpose."
"'Star Wars' is mythology. It's like Greek mythology or Shakespeare. It's the story of good versus evil over a very long span of time. The storytelling is universal and timeless."
"You learn a lot when you're barefoot. The first thing is every step you take is different."
"Every single soul is a poem."
"All the freaky people make the beauty of the world."
"After a show, I'll get the 16-year-old white kid whose lip is pierced, his head is shaved and his parents hate him, and the young gangster from the screwed-up 'hood, and they say that now they realize there's someone out there who thinks like they do."
"If we do not change our negative habits toward climate change, we can count on worldwide disruptions in food production, resulting in mass migration, refugee crises and increased conflict over scarce natural resources like water and farm land. This is a recipe for major security problems."
"During my travels in Iraq, Israel, Gaza, Brazil, Indonesia, Japan, Europe and all over the United States, I have seen and heard the voices of people who want change. They want the stabilization of the economy, education and healthcare for all, renewable energy and an environmental vision with an eye on generations to come."
"We can bomb the world to pieces, but we can't bomb it into peace."
"I've always found that the poorer the places that I go, the more smiles I see, and the more happiness I see."
"We have a saying in my house, my kids and my girlfriend. We say, 'Be your best for the greater good, and rock out wherever you are.'"
"I always identified with that feeling of being an underdog. So I always was looking to connect with and meet people from other cultures, to experience people living a different life that I am."
"Rap has so many possibilities that need to be explored. There are different factions of rap, but some are in a rut. Rap doesn't have to be about boosting egos and grabbing your crotch and dissing women. There's a way to make political and social issues interesting and entertaining to the young rap audience."
"Like sunshine, music is a powerful force that can instantly and almost chemically change your entire mood."
"San Francisco has always been a haven for misfits and weirdos. I'm both of those, which is why I came here."
"Power to the peaceful!"
"It doesn't matter if you're black, white, gay, straight, come from different countries, different language… every single person is significant and is meaningful."
"The corporate media is there to push the agenda of the sponsors, and many of those sponsors are weapons manufacturers. So it stands to reason that you won't get a diversity of opinions on television."
"I don't know if music can change the world overnight but I know that music can help someone make it through a difficult night."
"I think my soul is intact, but my methods of reaching people are completely different."
"Sometimes the hardest thing to do is just to stay human."
"Johnny Cash was a rebel, not only just in the musical sense, but he was somebody who was for the people, and an advocate for labor, for workers, for prisoners, people who have been trapped by the criminal justice system."
"Through music I either tame my demons or unleash them and allow them to be what they are. I don't want the music to be about provocation, I want the music to bring you to a place where you feel at home."
"When you're in Jamaica, unless you're in a tourist spot, you don't hear Bob Marley; you mostly hear dance hall music."
"With all the people hating and hurting each other, I don't understand how people could get upset about people of the same sex caring for each other."
"People worry that gas prices are high and how they are affecting their pocket book. But they want to know about renewable energy. People are really starting to question things, and that's made people look to the future in a positive way."
"Playing on the streets of Iraq, or in Israel or the Gaza strip, I'd sing angry protest songs against war. People would say, 'Make us clap, make us dance, and laugh and sing.' It really made me think about the importance of happy music."
"People underestimate the hip-hop audience and the capacity to understand politics when it's part of music."
"The more places I go to, the more I realize I understand so little about the world."
"You get everything you could have ever wished for if you're willing to give that eternal bliss away to somebody else, to give it back."
"I eat bags and bags of cashews. I've got them in the kitchen, and about ten feet away I've got another bowl on the kitchen table. In my backpack, I've always got a bag of cashews. I started eating them in the airports because that's the one food that you can find in every airport that's actually nutritious."
"I went to Iraq because I wanted to see what one year of occupation had done to Iraqi society, and I went to the West Bank and Gaza Strip because I wanted to see what three generations of occupation had done to Palestinian society. I found a lot more hopelessness and despair in Palestine."
"Everybody's opinion is equally valid, and I feel like everybody should have an opportunity to speak out, and everyone should have the courage to speak out."
"I went to the University of San Francisco on an athletic scholarship. I didn't study in high school. I was just there to get by and to play basketball. But a funny thing happened to me when I got to college. I got challenged by the work and the professors."
"Many kids in foster homes have a lot of emotions that are hard to get out. It's important to let them know they can make a difference in the community."
"My favorite band of all time is The Clash. The thing I love about The Clash is they started out as guys who could barely play three chords. They dabbled in reggae, punk, rap, jazz. They came to a sound that could only be defined as The Clash. It was impossible to say what it was. I admire them for that."
"My greatest sense of accomplishment has come from having two amazing sons, but it's also a paradox in that the times when I felt like the biggest failure have been times when I felt like, as a parent, I wasn't making the right decisions or succeeding in the way that I should."
"My parents said sticks and stones will break your bones but names will never hurt you. But I always felt a sense of exhilaration after a fight; it was the names that really hurt me."
"Traveling to the Middle East and playing music for people on the street, for soldiers, for people in hospitals, and for people who lost their homes, and seeing people open up through the experience of music really restored my faith in music, in art, and in culture to change things."
"I really encourage people to travel so we can see how the rest of the world views our country. That's really important. Secondly, as artists, activists, and citizens who vote, we have to begin to vote from our heart."
"I took a trip in 2004, a year after the war started in Iraq. I played music on the streets of Baghdad for Iraqi civilians. I'd also play for U.S. soldiers at night when they were off duty in the bars. Then I would talk to people, and I would film them and ask them about their life and the conflict."
"The rap community has been singled out as more homophobic than other groups, but I don't think that's right. It's homophobic, all right, but no more so than the heavy-metal community or the Hollywood community or any other community."
"I'm always trying to find optimistic ways to express myself."
"In Jamaica, the music is recorded for the sound system, not the iPod. It's about experiencing music together, with other people."
"All my songs are different, but from the overall experience, I want people to sense that they can overcome and move through difficult times and find strength in my music. Maybe it's a song that makes them cry and move through something else."
"My mother birthed three children and she adopted myself and another African-American son. My adoptive parents were Finnish. I grew up in a white picket neighborhood."
"My music is part of the quest I have to find new ways of telling stories, and also, I want to inspire people."
"To sit back and say, 'Oh, we're going to let the government do whatever they want, right or wrong,' is giving up."
"It really is a strange time we're living in, when saying 'Don't kill people' is considered a radical point of view."
"Music has the power to bring people together like no other art form."
"History shows that Americans believe in doing the right thing."
"Today we are in a war against war – music is our power."
"Collectively, we activists are essential to advancing U.S. policy to help empower marginalized people to lift themselves and their communities out of poverty for good."
"Investing now in safe-guarding people by helping them to adapt to climate change, will help save money and lives while building resilience."
"I drive a hybrid. It's a Ford Escape. That's my only car."
"I have a desire that I want to make people feel happy through my music. I'm always trying to find optimistic ways to express myself."
"I have moments all the time when I play."
"I hope I inspire people to dream bigger than what they are living, but a dream within their reach."
"Music gives us new energy and a stronger sense of purpose."
"The music industry has been hijacked by corporate interests, but the way music affects people and resonates with them hasn't changed."
"The U.S. has historically been the world's largest contributor to climate change."
"The world can't have a global solution to climate change with U.S. action alone; and the world can't have a global solution without U.S. action."
"When I first started out, I thought it was enough to make an angry song that pointed out the problems of the world."
"Jamaica's a country of great dichotomy. On the one hand you have a tourist industry with great beaches and resorts, but on the other you have such great poverty and the violence that goes along with that."
"Bonnaroo has kind of become the granddaddy of all American festivals. The thing I love about it most is that it wasn't born out of picking the top ten bands off the Billboard chart and creating a festival around it."
"I really believe that, as an artist, my opportunity to help to bring about awakening is one that should come from a personal process that someone has, and not from me telling somebody that this is the way it is."
"My usual day is I get up around 11 o'clock and do yoga and then eat afterwards. Then I have sound check and play soccer and do running with the guys in the band after sound check, and then do the show and eat dinner after the show and usually get to bed around 3 o'clock by the time we get everybody on the bus and get rolling."
"Music was a central part of my childhood because my mother played organ and piano in the church, and that meant all us kids had to be in the church choir."
"We would play songs live on stage, and then we'd watch their reaction we were receiving immediately, if people were dancing and singing along. If they weren't, then we'd go into the dressing rooms of the different NBA teams that we were playing in their arenas, and we'd change the songs right there."
"Not all artists have a responsibility to be socially or politically aware, but they do have a responsibility to make great art. They have to find some truth and put that in their music."
"Our country was founded on immigration. We are all occupying Native American land here. At what point do we say 'It's our land, and nobody else can come here.'"
"Recording in Jamaica is like nothing else. The studios are always closed in America. But in Jamaica, the studio doors are wide open, and there's music blasting out in the street. You can see the reaction of people immediately."
"The way the music comes to you starts to affect how you listen to music. When you're a kid, it's 'Does it rock? Does it make me feel good? Does it make me tap my feet? Does it make me go to sleep?'"
"When someone can't afford to wear shoes, it's not just about them not having shoes on that day. It's about a cycle of poverty that exists within their community."
"I don't know if it's so grand that I can change the entire world, but I know that I can help one person. So that's the goal."
"I'm a news junkie who's constantly reading newspapers and magazines. I look around and see what's happening in the world."
"In the '80s, Ronald Reagan inspired me to become politicized, because I grew up in that era when everything I cared about was under attack."
"My house was filled with music. We had a piano, and my brothers and sisters played instruments. Even though I was around it, I played basketball."
"When I first started, my songs were the politics of anger. As I got older and hopefully wiser, I wanted to be part of the politics of answers."
"I came up playing in both punk rock bands and hip-hop bands, and I found a more universal way of reaching people, especially with music that has a message to it."
"I think that fear comes about when there's things in the world that we want to change, things we're scared or angry about, and we can't change them, and so we become fearful; we develop anxiety."
"I try to use the attention that I get to help and to serve, and that's really what I'd see as my work – to serve my community, serve the planet, serve my family. And I think a celebrity is someone who draws the attention on themselves, and then it kind of stops there."
"I'd play music on the street, especially in developing nations where a lot of kids couldn't wear shoes. In order to relate with kids that would be following me barefoot, I would take off my shoes, and they would all laugh at me because I couldn't go three steps without wincing."
"My mother, she made sure all of us were treated the same and had the same opportunity to grow and develop, so that when we left the house, we could fly on our own. And she also knew when we got out into the world, we'd treat others that we came across with that same treatment and respect."
"There are so many things to be worried about, and I wanted to make a record that people could put on, and it would lift them up the way the sun did for me each day."
"Everyone deserves music."
"It's a really personal thing for me to write a song."

MISSION VIEJO, Calif. --Mission Viejo is getting a new dog park.The city council approved the plan for a park located at Oso Viejo Park.
The Orange County Register is reporting the council allocated about $258,000, plus any design fees, for the project.
Opponents said dog owners in favor of the park are not thinking of their neighbors' needs. They also said the public should raise the required funds instead of having the city paying for it.

Being a mum, wife, running a home, sticking to a budget and wearing cute and fashionable clothes goes hand in hand. Obviously that statement is a joke. Or is it? Well the truth is that it comes down to what your idea of dressing well is. If you don't like my slightly casual, tending towards conservative style that's cool but you may just want to skip this post. I won't hold it against you. Promise.
For me I am not at all interested in labels or brands. I also don't lean toward the latest trend item in clothes, in accessories sure, but seriously some of the latest clothing trends aren't my taste. I like to look at them all, of course, but I then like to interpret it my own way. Sure I am always willing to make exceptions for trends that really catch my eye, coloured jeans anyone?
Being a mum and living on one wage means that I am not willing to spend a lot of money on clothes. I just can't justify spending $50 on a T-shirt or $100+ on some pants. It's just not going to happen. I have better, more important things to spend our money on.
You need to keep your eyes open and not be afraid to shop downmarket stores. And know what you want. There is certainly no point going bananas on a tonne of bargains that you are never actually going to wear. We've all done it, and regretted it.
Here's what I do. I scour catalogues, magazines, online for outfit and style inspiration. Pinterest is great for this. Then I narrow down the looks that will work with the current season and my body type. Once I know what I am in the hunt for, I set myself a maximum spend amount. Now this all depends on what it is that I am after. Obviously certain items will get a higher amount, like a winter coat, a pair of boots or some jeans, but even then I am very rarely willing to part with more than $50. So that means I have to be patient and wait it out more often than not. I will go to loads of different stores until I find the specific piece I want. If its at or under my allocated spend amount, I will get it. If its not, I will wait. Until there is a sale at that store, or until I find a coupon code or a voucher. Or I will go on the hunt for an alternative. You have to be willing to compromise from time to time when you are shopping on a budget.
You also have to make sure it is workable with other items in your wardrobe. There is no point getting a great bargain of a top, if in order to wear it you also need to buy a new skirt, shoes and jacket. That my friend is not value for money, unless of course the skirt, shoes and jacket were already on your shopping list!
My last piece of advice for today. Learn how to alter your clothes, or makes friends with someone who can. I can't tell you the number of times I have had to alter clothes. I am short so I always have to take clothes up, I'm used to that. But what if you can only find the blouse or skirt you love in a bigger size than you'd normally wear? Alter it baby! A couple of darts in the back of a blouse, or taking in the side of a skirt can mean you don't have to miss out on the item you really wanted that was the right price, just the wrong size.
Altering also comes in super handy for people in the same stage as me. Post baby and not quite what I was before, hips are still wider than usual and don't even get me started on the bust line. Yet I am smaller than I was a few weeks ago. I could just quit trying to dress nicely and wait till I am back in shape, or I could purchase what fits now and alter it as I slowly get there.
What are your dressing tips and tricks? Do you style on a budget or are you lucky enough to get to splurge? Talk to me ladies!
